George W. Sotter (1879 – 1953) was an American painter best known for Impressionist-style works.
He was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania[1] but eventually made his name in Philadelphia.
In the August 5, 2006 episode of Antiques Roadshow on PBS, filmed in Philadelphia, a Sotter oil painting was appraised at $120,000 to $180,000, much to the delight of its visibly stunned owner.
[2] Sotter studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy with artist and teacher Edward Redfield, 1869–1965, member of the regional New Hope group.
Later, Sotter became a member of the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University, 1910–1919.
